Integrating Google Drive, but not able retrieve content from Drive

Hi, I'm integrating Google Drive and I have connected the user account. Using the Find Files API I'm able to get the list of files with IDs, so we know API is working. But I'm not able to figure out which API to use to download or get content from PDF files on drive. The Parse API is returning Failed to execute action error. Tried it from the dashboard and Python API (without LLM), getting the same response.

Hey! We will be adding this soon in next 24 hours. Also to make sure you don't get struck in cases like this we provide something called custom action -https://docs.composio.dev/patterns/actions/custom_actions We allow you to create your custom action like following

@action(toolname="googledrive", requires=["requests"])
def my_custom_action(auth: dict, custom_param: dict) -> str:
    """
    Demonstrates making authenticated requests to the provider API

    :param custom_param: Custom endpoint parameters
    :param auth: Authentication dictionary provided by Composio
    :return info: Response from the custom API endpoint
    """
    
    # fetch authentication headers
    headers = auth["headers"]
    query_params = auth["query_params"] 
    base_url = auth["base_url"]

    custom_endpoint_url = "/my_custom_endpoint?"

    # add query params to the url
    for key, value in query_params.items():
        custom_endpoint_url += f"&{key}={value}"

    response = requests.get(f"{base_url}{custom_endpoint_url}", headers=headers)

    return str(response)

@action(toolname="googledrive", requires=["requests"])
def my_custom_action(auth: dict, custom_param: dict) -> str:
    """
    Demonstrates making authenticated requests to the provider API

    :param custom_param: Custom endpoint parameters
    :param auth: Authentication dictionary provided by Composio
    :return info: Response from the custom API endpoint
    """
    
    # fetch authentication headers
    headers = auth["headers"]
    query_params = auth["query_params"] 
    base_url = auth["base_url"]

    custom_endpoint_url = "/my_custom_endpoint?"

    # add query params to the url
    for key, value in query_params.items():
        custom_endpoint_url += f"&{key}={value}"

    response = requests.get(f"{base_url}{custom_endpoint_url}", headers=headers)

    return str(response)

Thanks @Soham, Ill wait for the feature release. In cases if API is not available only then I would prefer Custom Action. But yes, this gives us the capability to expand the use cases.

this is very interesting as we experience the same

Hi @Soham and team, any update on this issue? And can you share more details about the proposed fix? Is it a new API to fetch documents or will the Parse API be fixed?

Hey, we are adding a endpoint to download file locally. The problem is though gooel drive download is little complicated so figuring out right way to navigate it.

Bumping this up. Hi @Soham @Karthikeya, Is there any update on this issue? Its one of the basic use cases for connecting Google Drive. If there some work done and its not production ready, can you share it with me? It will give us a head start to implement custom actions.

@Karthikeya Any update on this? It would be great if you could share a draft custom action to download a file from Google Drive.
